Mission
Justice Action Center JAC pilots an innovative model that advances the rights of immigrant communities by connecting cutting-edge impact litigation and compelling narrative and communications content. The purpose of JAC is to advance the civil and human rights of immigrants in the United States through a combination of impact litigation, communication and digital strategies, and providing related support to select partner nonprofit organizations that have immigrant members or provide direct legal services to immigrant communities.

Communications: Justice Action Center's JAC model depends on placing equal emphasis on storytelling and litigation. We recognize that winning a lawsuit alone will not lead to the systemic change we seek. We strive to build a new framework that uses litigation and narrative work to tangibly improve immigrants' lives. JAC produces original communications and digital content focused on the immigrant experience and perspectives. Our storytelling work is designed to strive to tangibly improve immigrants' lives and is rooted in the notion that transformative change will only occur when dominant narratives about immigration and belonging shift. These shifts are part of a broader ecosystem of work JAC seeks to participate in that ecosystem by using the microphone provided by litigation to center and uplift immigrant stories. Moreover, we aim to decode the legal system to help dismantle what is often a barrier to action and advocacy by immigrants and advocates.
